I am an IT professional with a wealth of experience in team collaboration and project management.

During my tenure at Bayer Pharmaceuticals, I managed server hardware and technical infrastructure across multiple sites, ensuring seamless technical delivery for business-critical events. My roles have included Unified Communications and Infrastructure Consultant, where I led site move projects and managed vendor relationships, as well as Video Conferencing and Infrastructure Analyst, where I designed setups for remote events and rolled out Skype for Business across the organization.
